The money is great and tax is so low (as mentioned earlier) so you will find you have a lot more money than before. Singapore has a double taxation treaty with Oz so you won't get taxed again on your earnings when (or if?) you ever return.Really, Asia is the best part of the world to be in right now (IMO). While the Singapore economy is in terrible shape, it's still in the most vibrant and active part of the world. There is so much you can learn here about other cultures, economies and how business is really done. Keep your eyes and ears open because opportunities appear all the time.I actually run my games in Australia as I am there very month but there are quite a few gamers around. FireLance who frequently posts here runs a Meetup board; the friendly folks in Paradigm Infinitum can hook you up with other gamers.If I may make some personal suggestions: make sure your wife does her research on what she can do when she is here. Singapore is a great place but I know some of my friends' wives over the years have felt it very claustrophobic. Be prepared for weekends/long weekends in Malaysia (you can drive there very easily) and other countries in the region just to clear your head.(Apologies to anyone who chooses to misinterpret my comments about his wife as sexism: it's just the reality I have witnessed many times in the past decade and forewarned is forearmed.)Oh and, if you don't already do it, start practising eating chilli sauce and curry (not at the same time). Nothing impresses the locals like someone who arrives being able to eat hot food.... <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> And you're going to be in Asia: at some point you will do karaoke. Be prepared!</blockquote>
